The Boy Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their attacking unit this summer, and they have identified Ademola Lookman as a target.

The 27-year-old has been linked with the move away from Atalanta, and a return to the Premier League could be exciting for him. According to Fichajes, Tottenham view him as their ‘main target’ now after missing out and multiple attacking options. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Ademola Lookman could improve Spurs

The player has been in outstanding form for the Italian club since joining them, and he registered 27 goal contributions last season. He is capable of operating on either flank, and he can operate centrally as well. His versatility will be an added bonus for Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.

They have improved the attacking unit with the signing of Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons this summer. Adding Lookman could complete their attacking unit for the foreseeable future.

The opportunity to join Tottenham will be exciting for the Nigerian as well. He has played in England before, and he knows the Premier League well. He might be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact. This is the right time in his career will try out a new challenge, and joining a top club like Tottenham will be exciting. They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the platform to fight for trophies.

It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can agree on a reasonable deal.

The player is at the peak of his career, and he will look to hit the ground running in English football. He will look to help Spurs win major trophies this season.

Tottenham Hotspur are making a decisive late-window move for Lucas Paquetá, identifying the Brazilian midfielder as a key solution to their midfield crisis.

After losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal and facing uncertainty over James Maddison’s fitness, Spurs have accelerated talks with West Ham United to secure Paquetá’s signature.

Sources close to the negotiations have confirmed to TheBoyHotspur that Tottenham are considering multiple deal structures, including a direct cash offer and a performance-incentivised package.

In a surprising twist, discussions have also touched on a potential swap deal involving Yves Bissouma. While West Ham and Tottenham previously maintained an informal non-transfer pact, Spurs’ acquisition of Mohammed Kudus earlier this summer already breached that understanding, opening the door for further business.

Tottenham very keen on Lucas Paqueta

Tottenham’s interest is described as “concrete and strategic”, with internal confidence that Paquetá’s recent clearance from betting allegations and his strong form, with two goals in three matches, make him a viable and immediate upgrade. However, West Ham remain firm on their £50–60 million valuation and are reluctant to lose another star to a direct rival.

With just days left in the window, Spurs are pushing hard to finalise the deal, aware that competition from Aston Villa and Crystal Palace could complicate the race. But within Tottenham’s camp, Paquetá is seen not just as a transfer target, but as a statement signing.

Spurs could use Paqueta

It is no secret that Tottenham need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the Brazilian could be the ideal fit. He is playing his best football right now, and he is well settled in the Premier League. He could make an instant impact at the North London club.

Joining Tottenham would allow him to fight for trophies and compete in the UEFA Champions League as well.

Another loss ahead of an international break, but should Spurs fans simply take it in their stride? After all, isn’t the game about winning and losing?

Perhaps, but surely the fact that we’ve now failed to win a single game played before the international break since 2015. That’s a decade of players with their heads in their suitcases. Surely a pattern that needs to be broken.

#Tottenham are winless in every game played before the international break since 2015.

A frustrating day for fans, who would have been enthusiastic after emphatically beating both Burnley and Manchester City in our opening two games.

Vicario didn’t do too much wrong, beyond conceding one goal and making one error, which led to a shot. Unreliable with long passes, just 8 out of 17 found men in Tottenham shirts.

Porro had a notably hectic day of it, with his passing accuracy of a pathetic 55% underlined. Hooked with 20 minutes to go, Udogie was a much-improved replacement.

Romero was his usual self, although he often seemed to be struggling to maintain much in the way of a sense of urgency at times. Micky van de Ven also struggled with long-ball accuracy; only 3 of the 8 went to a teammate, adding to which the Bournemouth press caused him to lose possession on 11 occasions.

Djed Spence didn’t have a terrible game, but perhaps, like too many Spurs players today, he wasn’t quite at the races, despite his single key pass; he struggled with his passing and dribbling.

Bentancur faded as the game went on, but his 91% passing accuracy was superb. Paulinho was hooked in the 54th minute, as he went the way of far too many Spurs players today, and notably underperformed. Spurs’ big sweeper had long ball problems, his dribbling was imperfect, and he lost possession 8 times.

Sarr was also off the boil, and those previously crowing over his prowess were probably a little less vocal after this performance.

Superstar Kudus was another one who struggled to shine. Just th one key pass, but nothing to raise our woeful team xG ratio of 0.17.

Richarlison was back to his old erratic ways, with just a 42% passing accuracy and not a single shot on target in 90n minutes of play. Johnson’s 54 minutes were unremarkable.

Why Spurs have become unable to win a game, before flying off to play for their country for an international break, is a massive concern, and not to be ignored.

The arranged protest by the Change For Tottenham gang (a subscription-free version of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust) is in for a blow this afternoon, as the bookmakers have Spurs as narrow favourites, and new signing Xavi Simons is tipped to be presented during the pre-match shenanigans.

Those seeking to tap into a mood of discontent will most likely find themselves talking to fellow protestors. One can only wonder how hard Levy will have to suppress his smirk as they all file in and spend their pocket money afterwards.

As for the starting XI, Spurs have more than enough about them to sink Bournemouth.

Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of the Portuguese International midfielder Joao Palhinha earlier this summer.

They signed the midfielder on loan from German champions Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has now revealed his surprise at the transfer.

Richards was surprised that the German champions have allowed the player to leave on loan.

Palhinha was outstanding for Fulham in the Premier League before his move to Germany, but he never quite managed to hit those levels in the Bundesliga. It is no surprise that Bayern Munich have decided to send him out on loan.

Joao Palhinha move is ideal for Spurs

“I can’t believe Bayern let him go, to be honest. They’ve got a young boy at Bayern called Pavlovic at Bayern. So I understand why a really good player plays a similar position, could play a bit further forward as well,” Richards said on The Rest is Football podcast.

“But it didn’t work for him at Bayern Munich.”

The Portuguese international will look to get back to his best once again. He has done reasonably well for Tottenham in the first two matches of the season.

The transfer could look like a major bargain in the long run if he continues to perform the way he has.

Spurs needed Palhinha

There is no doubt that he is a top player, and he has the qualities to help Tottenham improve. Tottenham need more physicality and defensive cover in the midfield, and the Portuguese International certainly fits the profile. He knows the league well, and he has settled in quickly.

With the World Cup coming up next year, he will look to get back to his best. Regular football at the London club will be ideal for him. The move could prove to be a masterstroke for all parties.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to sign him permanently in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a return to the Premier League, and Tottenham are leading the chase for his signature. Multiple other clubs are keen on the England International, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done.

Spurs readying Conor Gallagher bid

According to a report from CaughtOffside, Tottenham are now “preparing a bid” for the player. They could offer around £35-40 million for the midfielder. He has played in the Premier League before, and he has shown his quality in the top flight. He could come in and make an instant impact at Tottenham. They need someone like him who will add physicality, defensive cover, and work rate to the side.

The opportunity to return to England could be quite exciting for the player as well. Spurs will be able to provide him with regular gametime and the platform to showcase his qualities in the UEFA Champions League. If they can sign him for a fee of around £35-40 million, it could be an excellent investment.

Spurs could use Gallagher

The midfielder is still very much at the peak of his career, and he will look to fight for trophies with the North London club. If the move goes true. He is a quality player who has been labelled as “priceless” by former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham have a quality squad at their disposal, but they need more depth if they want to do well across multiple competitions. They have started the season well, and a couple of quality additions before the window closes could help them have a successful campaign. They have recently won a European trophy, and they will look to build on it.

Signing the right players will be top priority for them.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a late move for the Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji.

The 30-year-old has been linked with a move away from Manchester City, owing to the lack of time. He needs to play more often at this stage of his career, and Tottenham might be able to provide him with that opportunity. According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have made their approach, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Tottenham could use Manuel Akanji

The player has shown his quality in the Premier League over the years, and he has been labelled as an “intelligent” defender by Pep Guardiola.

There is no doubt that he has the quality to thrive at Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if the north London club can get the deal done. They will face competition from AC Milan as well.

The Swiss international is certainly good enough to play regularly in the Premier League, and he could be an asset for Tottenham. He might be available for a reasonable amount of money, and it could be a deal worth doing. Tottenham need more quality and depth in the squad, especially now that they are in the UEFA Champions League.

Akanji could help Spurs improve

The 30-year-old has the quality and the experience to help them improve, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince him to join the club. The Swiss International could be tempted to join them. It would allow him to continue in the Premier League and compete at a high level.

Beating AC Milan to his signature should not be too difficult for Tottenham, especially if they are willing to provide him with ample game time. They have the resources to get the deal across the line.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Brentford striker Yoane Wissa this summer.

The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away from Brentford, and Tottenham are one of the clubs ‘interested’ in securing his signature. However, Craig Hope has now revealed that the player wants to join Newcastle United instead.

Tottenham need Yoane Wissa

Wissa has been outstanding in the Premier League, and he scored 20 goals last season. He picked up five assists along the way as well. There is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition to Tottenham. They need more depth in the attacking unit. Dominic Solanke was mediocre last season, and he failed to score goals consistently. He needs more support, and Wissa would be ideal.

He has the quality and experience to make an instant impact at Tottenham. He is well settled in the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince the player to join the club. They will be able to offer him UEFA Champions League football, and the presence of Thomas Frank could be a decisive factor as well. The player could be attracted to the idea of reuniting with his former manager.

Spurs could be the ideal move for Wissa

Wissa will want to compete at a high level, and he will look to fight for trophies. Tottenham recently won a European trophy, and they could be an attractive destination. The 28-year-old will be able to adapt to their style of football quickly as well. He knows the way Thomas Frank operates.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few days. Tottenham need to bring in a quality striker before the window closes. It remains to be seen whether they can plug the remaining gaps in their squad.

Tottenham Hotspur are now plotting another raid on West Ham United this summer, and they could move for Lucas Paqueta.

The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder has been linked with a move away from the London club, and Spurs are prepared to provide him with an exit route. According to a report from Team Talk, they are plotting a late move for the midfielder, but West Ham are reluctant to let him leave.

The two clubs have recently dealt during the transfer of Mohammed Kudus, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can sign another quality player from West Ham before the window closes. The report claims that a late offer of around £50-60 million might be enough to get the Brazilian out of West Ham.

Lucas Paqueta would improve Spurs

Tottenham need more quality in the midfield, and the Brazilian could be the ideal acquisition.

He will add work rate, technical ability, creativity, and experience to the side. He has been a reliable performer in the Premier League for West Ham. He will look to make an instant impact at Tottenham if the transfer goes through.

The player has 20 goals and 14 assists in 123 matches for West Ham.

Paqueta could fancy a Spurs move

The opportunity to move to the North London club could be exciting for the player as well. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to play for a big club and fight for trophies. Tottenham recently won a European trophy, and they will be an attractive destination for the South American.

The player is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to move on and take up a new challenge. Spurs need more attacking depth, and the 28-year-old certainly fits the profile. It will be interesting to see if they can convince West Ham to sell their key player before the window closes.

Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Nico Paz from Como before the summer window closes.

According to a report from Quotidiano Sportivo, Tottenham have had two offers rejected for the 20-year-old playmaker, and they are prepared to submit a new offer for him. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.

Nico Paz is an elite talent

The Argentine ace is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. Paz could develop into a top-class player for Tottenham with the right guidance. The player has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he would be an asset for Tottenham.

The North London outfit could use more control and creativity in the final third. The 20-year-old is capable of operating as an attacking midfielder as well as an advanced central midfielder.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are interested in bringing him back to the club as well. It will be interesting to see where the midfielder ends up. He is an elite talent, and he will look to compete at the highest level. Spurs will be able to offer him Champions League football and the Premier League platform. However, Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world. They are also his boyhood club.

Can Spurs sign Paz this summer?

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Tottenham have had a recent offer of €80 million is turned down for the player. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to improve on that. Even though the midfielder will cost a premium, he has the potential to justify the investment and develop into a future star.

Spurs need someone like him in the absence of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Both players are injured and Paz could fill the creative void in the side.
